GRIPS CUSTOMERS & RESEARCH PARTNERS
Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked across five retail channels from January 1 to July 31, 2026 shows Mead, a brand of ACCO Brands (NYSE: ACCO), concentrating the vast majority of its revenue on a single outlet, with Amazon accounting for 83.6% of year-to-date sales. Newegg is a distant second at 6.5%, followed by acehardware.com at 4.7%, while lowes.com and Office Depot each contribute 2.5%. Revenue momentum has been strong through the back-to-school build, growing 99.1% month over month and 113.4% across the May-July window. The average product price sits at $7.84, though the latest month registered $8.27 after a 6.0% monthly decline, leaving pricing up 2.3% overall for the period. That combination of steep growth and near-flat pricing suggests volume, rather than premiumization, is driving the brand's current trajectory.
